【米デモ】床屋経営していた黒人ブチギレ「なんでこんな目に」　コロナで封鎖→デモで放火され全焼

Trevon Ellis spent years building up his north Minneapolis barbershop, the Fade Factory, attracting customers with smart haircuts, snacks and friendly conversation.

It took just one terrible night to destroy it all.

"Inside is totally burned down," Ellis says. "Everything was burned to a crisp."

The recent wave of protests against police brutality has left a trail of chaos and destruction in many city neighborhoods, with countless businesses looted and damaged.

Among them are some African American businesses, which were already hard hit by the coronavirus lockdowns and are decidedly more vulnerable to the economic downturn.

The number of black-owned businesses has grown sharply over the years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, but most are tiny operations financed not through bank credit but personal funds and loans from friends and family.

They "are not mom and pops. They're mom or pops," says Ron Busby, president and CEO of U.S. Black Chambers Inc.

Ellis, 42, was trained as a barber more than a decade ago and began renting space in a barber shop in a rough part of Minneapolis. He printed out business cards with his name on them and passed them out everywhere he went.

"If you're motivated and self-driven, which is what it takes to be a barber, the financial part of it is limitless," Ellis says.

A self-described "people person," Ellis loves chatting with customers, hearing their confidences and, in the process, leaving them looking better than when they came in.

"If they can look at theirself in the mirror or get compliments from people that see them with a nice haircut, it actually makes people more positive, more lighthearted," Ellis says.

When the lockdowns began in March, Ellis was forced to shut his shop down. While some of his regular customers begged him to cut their hair on the sly, he says he worried about contagion.

The weeks since then have been rough financially and boring as well.

"I slept a lot, but you only can sleep so much. You only can surf the internet so much. There's only so much social media you want to feed in your brain because you can't believe everything you see or hear on there," Ellis says.

⚪しばき隊はよく肝に命じておくように

間違えるな‼

やっぱり人種の違いはある

お前らが 暴れるからや

所詮、祖国(？)じゃ横転したタンクローリーに群がるアホと同じ人種だから

彼は人々が抗議した理由を知っており、特に誰も非難しないと言います。
彼が理解していないのは、彼の店が標的にされた理由です。
